67 Dart GT Restomod

Well, I've been a FABO member for years, just waiting for the right project to come along, and it finally did. I picked up a 67 Dart GT shell this weekend that needs some love, but is in pretty good shape overall. It came minus the engine and trans, but it has a 3.91 posi 8 3/4 rear in it, so that's a plus.

The plan is to turn it into something that's a daily driver, but that's also capable of some fun at the drag strip and the autocross track. I'm thinking 4-wheel disc, Hotchkis suspension, mini-tubs and relocated leafs, and either a 5.7 Hemi or a small block with EFI. Having recently swapped an LS engine into a 69 Camaro (I know- I used a bad word....), I really want that "turn the key and go" ability on this car as well.

Here's some pics of what I brought home, and some of the progress so far in getting her apart. There's some minor rust in the quarters, front floor pans, and spare tire well, and the cowl area needs a little attention, but overall, not too much rot.
